The Drop Box

I just finished watching the documentary “The Drop Box”, and wow, was it a heart-wrenching film.
(I’m pretty sure that most of you know what the documentary, “The Drop Box” is about, but for those who don’t know, it is a documentary that tells the story of Pastor Lee’s heroic efforts to embrace and protect the most vulnerable members of society, the children. )

Today, you don't have to search long to find tales of heartbreak. By just turning on the TV, going to an Internet news site or fold open the newspaper, and you can find endless stories with so much pain and little hope, that it's enough to make your heart go numb sometimes.

The Drop Box is not one of those stories.

This documentary about a humble, hardworking pastor and his wife in South Korea offers a narrative antidote to all that bad news, without pretending it doesn't exist.

The film makers of this documentary definitely knew what they were doing, because they created such an incredible movie experience about one amazing man and his amazing mission to rescue abandoned babies. It is so heart-wrenching seeing the physical, emotional and financial toll that is associated with providing refuge to those the surrounding culture has deemed undesirable and unlovable.
